huge jump in replacements?!

[ryan1488]

playing the Italy campaign and im now into the first turn of 1945. what had been a slow trickle of replacements per turn jumped to 25k men in one turn! am I missing something here?

[Joel Billings]

I assume you are judging the replacements from the logistic report, correct? We have known issues with the turn values being incorrect in the logistics report.

[Joel Billings]

Do you have saves from the prior German and Allied turns? Those might help figure out what's going on. Thanks.

[ryan1488]

Unfortunately I do not, this is a different issue than the ghost tigers I bugged you about awhile back, as these replacements are the real deal

[Joel Billings]

Keep your saves for the next turn and see if it happens again. Ideally I'd like to see a series of saves. I see in the CR screen that your units did get a bunch of men coming in during the turn but I'm not sure why or where the men came from. My only thought is that some TOEs have changed and some men are being sent back to the pool as excess during one phase and then returning to the units during the logistics phase. But even that doesn't sound right as the men going back should be tracked as negative replacements, although there might be some accounting issue there. You'd have to watch your total manpower OB strength to see if it's going up over time when it shouldn't be to know if you were getting men you shouldn't be getting.

I can say that I went ahead and finished the scenario with no more incidents of crazy replacements, although I did have a few turns with very odd truck usage that I will send along

[michaelm75au]

Could it have something to do with the large number of TOE changes that came in to effect as shown in the Events log?
With the transit MP pool?

[ryan1488]

I thought it could be the same thing mike, but that should be a more general shuffle around of forces, give some take some. But this was a huge shift to the positive

[Joel Billings]

Well, keep an eye out for this in the future, and if you see a case where you're getting more replacements than you think you should have, please post the saves for the turn before and the current turn. Thanks.
